Gr 9 Up—This title's summaries, details on major mythological figures, and engaging commentary on important works will allow students to appreciate the topic "in light of ancient literature and fine art." In this effort, they have succeeded brilliantly. After a brief introduction surveying the scope of the subject, the core of the work is comprised of alphabetically arranged entries from Achelous to Zeus. Entries vary in length from a short paragraph on lesser-known subjects to several pages on classic texts and monumental gods and heroes. What distinguishes this volume is its shift in focus away from the exploits of the Olympians to ancient authors and literature. While only a handful of black-and-white images dot the landscape, this work will be a worthy addition to collections.—Brian Odom, Pelham Public Library, AL
